What’s This TV Show About?
A sitcom airing on the NBC television network, the first season of Trial & Error stars Nicholas D’Agosto, John Lithgow, Krysta Rodriguez, Steven Boyer, Jayma Mays, and Sherri Shepherd. The story centers on new lawyer Josh Segal (D’Agosto). To tackle his first case, this New Yorker sets out for the tiny Southern town of East Peck. There, he must defend eccentric, “rollercizing” poetry professor, Larry Henderson (John Lithgow), who is charged with murdering his wife. The defense team includes a bunch of quirky locals: Larry’s daughter Summer Henderson (Rodriguez) and former cop and lead investigator Dwayne Reed (Boyer), as well as Carol Anne Keane (Mays) and Anne Flatch (Shepherd).

Telly’s Take
NBC has had mixed results with its freshman comedies during the 2016-17 television season. Although a cancellation seems likely for Powerless, The Good Place did well enough to earn a second season. Which path will Trial & Error ultimately follow? It premiered to mediocre ratings and the numbers have been falling lower and lower. I suspect it will be cancelled, but the decision will ultimately come down to money. Subscribe for free updates on Trial & Error cancellation or renewal news.
